Cosmetic treatments are medical procedures. Choosing the right clinic matters as much as choosing the right treatment. Here are the key things to check.
1. Who is treating you?
Ask about the qualifications and experience of the person performing your treatment, and who oversees the clinic. Cosmetic Central is led by Mr Naveed Basheeth, a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon.
2. Is there a proper consultation?
A good clinic will assess you in person, take a medical history, explain risks and alternatives, and give you time to decide. Treatments involving prescription medicines require a consultation with a qualified prescriber under New Zealand rules.
3. Do they understand facial anatomy?
Safe injecting depends on a deep understanding of blood vessels, nerves and muscles. Ask how complications are prevented and managed.
4. What happens if something goes wrong?
Ask whether the clinic can manage complications and how you can contact them after your treatment.
5. Are they honest about results?
Be wary of guaranteed results or pressure to book on the spot. A trustworthy clinician will sometimes tell you a treatment is not right for you.
6. Is the clinic hygienic and professional?
Treatments should take place in a clean clinical setting using genuine, approved products.
